people’s nutritional status. As the best products of traditional food systems, geographical indication (GI) foods have a great potential to contribute to healthy diets and curb non-communicable diseases. This paper presents five case studies around the world on the nutritional potential of registered GI foods and explores the link between the production processes and the nutritional composition of the final products. The nutritional characteristics of these foods can be largely attributed to their unique ingredients and production procedures, which are linked to their geographical origins. The paper also discusses the development of GI specifications to maintain and improve nutritional values, the role of GI foods in healthy diets, and the determination of food composition. Finally, suggestions on how to leverage GI foods for healthy diets are provided.

phytosanitary actions. The study includes a review of the existing legislative framework relating to authorization and of implementation resources developed under the auspices of the International Plant Protection Convention (IPPC) Secretariat that provide guidance to NPPOs on the authorization of entities. A selection of examples of authorization programmes are provided, illustrating some of the approaches taken by countries to address potential implementation issues.

Managing pesticides in agriculture and public health. A compendium of FAO and WHO guidelines and other resources - Second edition
Type of publication: Book Author: FAO/WHO Secretariats Publisher: FAO Year of publications: 2019 Place of publication: Rome, Italy Other Entities Involved: WHO Pages: 82 p. ISBN: 978-92-5-133918-3 doi: https://doi.org/10.4060/cb3179en
Agrovoc: pesticides; pesticide residues; health protection; regulations; guidelines
Abstract: This second edition of the compendium provides a brief description of all the technical guidance documents, manuals, toolkits, databases and other resources for pesticide management developed by FAO and WHO. These resources support the standards outlined in the International Code of Conduct on Pesticide Management by providing detailed information and guidance on how to manage pesticides at the different stages of their life cycle, i.e. from production to disposal of waste. The resources are principally intended for use by governments in low- and middle-income countries but they may also be useful to other stakeholders. The resources cover both agricultural and public health uses of pesticides. The documents listed in this compendium have been prepared, reviewed and adopted by FAO and WHO expert groups including, since 2007, the FAO/ WHO Joint Meeting on Pesticide Management (JMPM). The compendium will be updated regularly in the future. Older documents included in the compendium are still considered valid as the issues they address have not changed.
